The University has four faculties: Science and Engineering, Health Sciences, Social Sciences and Education, Humanities, and Law and Theology. In addition, it supports four theme-based research institutes. Flinders University is the only single campus university in South Australia and the only one with on-site student accommodation in the Adelaide metropolitan area. It is set on a 165-hectare site in the foothills, 11 kilometres south of Adelaide's city centre. The School of Education at Flinders University offers three four-year pre-service teacher education programs,
one of which prepares students for teaching at the primary level (Years R - 7), another for teaching at the upper
primary-lower secondary or middle school level (Years 6 - 10) and the other for the teaching of secondary science Bachelor of Education (Junior Primary/Primary)Course Description: This course prepares teachers wishing to work with younger children, is comprehensive across the curriculum and provides formal qualifications covering Reception to Year 7. It combines professional with general studies, providing the background necessary to enter the teaching profession with confidence, teach both general and core subjects, recognise that all children are individuals, and work effectively in a wide range of learning contexts. Flinders also prepares upper primary/lower secondary teachers, and secondary school teachers; as well as areas in Gifted Education for students with high intellectual potential; and Special Education, for those with intellectual disabilities or other disadvantages. Principal areas of study: The course has two discrete segments. The first two years (for undergraduate students) concentrate on general studies and offer a wide range of topic options. The second two years (for all students) involve professional and educational studies in areas such as curriculum and teaching practice. The course may be studied as undergraduate or graduate entry programs. Course Duration: 4 years (F/T) or equivalent (P/T) [2 years for graduate entry program] Name of Campus: Flinders campus Mode of Delivery: Internal Year 12 Prerequisites: None specified Other: Not applicable Professional Recognition: The qualification is recognised by South Australian and interstate Teachers' Registration Boards (although exact requirements can vary from State to State). Combined Degrees: None available Bachelor of Education (Upper Primary/Lower Secondary)Course Description: This course prepares teachers who are sensitive to the physical, emotional, intellectual and social issues associated with students in transition from primary to secondary school and equips them to work with students aged from 10 to 15 as they move through the adolescent stages. Graduates of the Upper Primary/Lower Secondary course have found themselves in demand as more and more schools move to embrace the Middle Schooling concept. In addition, many find interesting work in training settings in industry, the public sector and in personnel services areas. This course combines professional with general studies, providing the background necessary to enter the teaching
profession with confidence, teach both general and core subjects, recognise that all children are individuals, and
work effectively in a wide range of learning contexts. Flinders also prepares junior primary/primary teachers,

in the third and fourth years, which gives students the opportunity to practise their teaching under supervision Principal areas of study: The course content is divided equally between science/mathematics and education topics. In first years students select two fields of specialisation from mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences or information technology. First and second years are essentially science studies, more specialised education studies and curriculum studies are introduced in third year. An eight-week practicum is undertaken in the first semester of fourth year.
